Detailed explanation-1: -Providing recycled aggregates is an effective way to reduce the environmental impact of a quarry. Instead of sending leftover crushed rock and stone to landfill, quarries can collect this aggregate material and sell it on for future building and construction projects.

Detailed explanation-2: -Due to quarrying, soil erosion reduces the availability of water for plant growth, which may result in population decline in plant ecosystems. Quarrying also causes coastal erosion, resulting in flooding in coastal areas. In the agricultural sector, it can disturb or destroy productive grazing and cropland.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pits and quarries disrupt the existing movement of surface water and groundwater; they interrupt natural water recharge and can lead to reduced quantity and quality of drinking water for residents and wildlife near or downstream from a quarry site. Most old pits and quarries are not being properly rehabilitated.

Detailed explanation-4: -Quarry dust :: terrestrial ecosystems Physically, dust may cover the leaf surface and reduce the amount of light available for photosynthesis, or may occlude stomata. Occlusion may lead to increased resistance to gas exchange, or may prevent full stomatal closure, leading to water stress.
